[Jayhawkk]

good luck on reaching your goal! Any particular reason for that type of split?

 

[bolt10]

Good luck man...nice start...what are your current lifting stats in relation to your goal?

 

[brownstown89]

Honestly i listen to my body and my spilt probably wont look like that lol... i just make sure in a week i hit legs,chest,shoulders,back,tri's and bi's at least once. Also i deadlift on bench day sometimes, taht was part of my old routine and it worked well. Didnt get to workout yesterday because the dumbell pullovers made my tri's rreally sore. so im doing Chest today.

Deadlift- is 405 tryning to pull 425 in a month or more...
Bench I wanna get 270 in the next 8 weeks ive gotten 255 about 2 weeks ago, and another reason for the two chest workouts a week is because a couple weeks b4 maxing i like to do floor bench heavy lockouts and negatives so it really helps the lockout portion of my bench when maxing.
Squat- ive squatted 365 max idk if it was deep enough now im getting almost ass to ankles with 315 last week it was easy so just adding 10 pounds every week and trying a ORM making sure i get legit depth.

hope that all made sense haha

 

[brownstown89]

Sunday here we go did the Rick weil bench workout.
Bench Press
1. 205 x 5
2. 230 x 2 struggled to get the third missed it right at locket out like 4/5 the way up
3. 250 x 1 missed.

was so F uckin mad i missed the last rep on 230 and the 250 rep at lockout it was like 4/5 the way up idk why im missing it.. I use to be sweet at lockouts and off the chest was my problem now its the other way around.

my bench grip is a inside grip so more triceps are involved i might try widening it but im defffintely throwing in a day where i do Floor Bench, Lockouts and reapeat the DB bench INcline chest press and Incline CG smith Bench and tri pulldowns, so im not failing at lockouts anymore. thats it for today busy day tommorow going to try to hit legs if i cant then im going to Hit them tuesday and do the bench stuff again wednesday

I use the ed coan bench press routine to kinda judge how many reps i need to hit to be able to get to my max had to hit a set of 2 reps on 245 to hit a 270 max floor press in 3 weeks. but i never go above 3 reps.

the dumbell bench with the bench in a slight incline like dorian yates does WOW fried my shoulders these were really hard. and thats why my shoulder press weight was way down

missed a rep on the last 2 sets of close grip bench but i was feeling out the new westide routine.

had a sweet pump in rear delts, bi's and tris tommorow im doing speed deads. dynamic effort day. really excited for this because in the summer i went from a 330 or so to 390 deadlift really fast using a simple westside routine of Shrugs, ORM deads, good mornings hamstring curls and one lat accessory... havnet dont speed deads since july/august.

well was suppose to workout tommorow but did today because i got one last exam to study for tommorow before the summer.

ME bench pres
45 x 20
135 x 5
170 x 3
205 x 3
235 x 1
265 x missed idk whats wrong guess its the lockout that im struggling with i get it past half way and just cant push it up. i was pissed so did this

230 x 1 with 40 pound chains
235 x 1 40 pound chain
240 x 1 40 pound chain

so that means at lockout im at 280 for the heaviest rep. im not sure why i cant get 265 maybe the bench wasnt alligned right. im expecting the chain bench to raise my bench quite a bite becuase if im struggling at lockout and im adding weight at lockout with the chain bench.

I also decided to use high intensity low volume assistance work..

Dumbell Bench Press (palms in)

Rear delt works some abs

went for a run lil over a mile 1.5 miles maybe at night..

as you can see im changing up my accessory lifts almost every week depending on my weakness but i stick to a core movement for a month or so ex barbell bench with chains and deads... also i dont wanna become real bulky still want a good bit of chest deffintion and arms legs back etc. so i do moderate cardio and do the extra lifts like curls, Flyes etc.. its not over training because of the light weight high rep im using i listen to my body. some days ME espically i end up doing heavy BB bench, Heavy DB very light shoulder press and tri pulldowns and done its so little time i feel unproductive.. but i do think u can add ur own vartions to WSBB and it will work just listen to your body. sleep and eat... thats all for today prolly running a bit tommorow because i need that 6 pack for summer and its almost here.. Thursday doing ME deads or ME BE not sure yet.

 

[brownstown89]

ME Deads

i might be over training maybe thats why i didnt hit my deads.. or maybe just DE and ME deads in one week are too much since ive been maxing full range deads for a month went from 420,425,430, and missed 435 so knocking out DE and trying to get 435 in a week if i dont get it im doing rack pulls for 2 weeks then going back at it.

 

[GymRat7197]

You and I bench press about the same.

Yours is a tad bit more impressive due to you being 15 lbs ligher than me.

 

[brownstown89]

thanks man.. where u having trouble at in ur bench? i got my sticking point at lockout now which i never in a million years thought would happen i use to always get stuck off my chest till i started dumbells.. been doing chian bench but im guessing my chains are too light =( from wat it seems.

My troubles are primarily coming from the elbows, my bench is really funny look at is leans like this / because the opposing side of the bar is a squat rack. Therefore, when I do my lift off I'm lifting the weight from behind my head. My elbows seem to have trouble (in the joint areas) getting the weight off my chest. My last 1RM was 260.

 

[brownstown89]

do floor press up to a 1-3 rep max to help off ur chest. and try to icy hott ur elbows before bench pressing hope that helps man.
